WE DONT HAVE PLEXI LIDS FOR THIS SIZE PEDAL YET

Vintage inspired, one knob fuzz pedal, in a big azz enclosure. This is the beating heart of the BlackHatSound series, stripped down to the barest parts count, giving you the purest version of this flagship range yet.

Using a carefully selected pair of ME4003 transistors from the 70s, tuned for a balance between saturation and rich harmonic content. Achieving high gain Fuzztones and capable of amp buckling volume. BUT the clean up from your guitars volume is spectacular. Its the BlackHatSounds louder big brother who isn't scared to rip your face off with massive tones.

One knob, one fuzz. Make no mistake this fuzz takes no prisoners, but has poise with it.

Unlike a lot of vintage style fuzz, this one LOVES Les Pauls or other humbucker type guitars humbuckers come alive in a way that just wants you to keep playing! don't get me wrong strat and single coils sound pretty awesome too! But the edge of note and clarity this fuzz imparts on HB equipped guitars is a revelation.

THESE PEDALS ARE MADE IN BATCHES

I notify via my newsletter when a new batch is available, so if you are interested join the newsletter to keep upto date.

Handcrafted in a Northamptonshire garden workshop, the BHS-A BlackHatSound Alpha One Knob Fuzz combines artisanal precision with tonal purity. Featuring a meticulously screen printed and acid-etched enclosure, its circuit is constructed entirely point-to-point  eliminating printed circuit boards to preserve the integrity of your signal. This pedal delivers a refined fuzz tone that resonates with authenticity, offering musicians a subtle yet unmistakable mojo beneath its gunmetal exterior.

Please be aware, these are totally hand built and so there might me some slight cosmetic variation between each pedal. The acid etching process produces a gunmetal patina on the enclosure with will vary from pedal to pedal. This is most noticeable on the sides and imparts a unique character to each pedal. Tonally, I play each one to make sure they sound as good as the first one, before signing off, no tone generator, no gadgets – just a telecaster and my ears.

Please note, all my silicon pedals have a boss style 2.1 center negative DC jack only, there is no battery snap. silicon transistors are not sensitive to DC supply type unlike their germanium counterparts.
